liar
Deadline Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Your whole world is black and white
There is no shade of grey
Always right I can't be wrong
It's what you used to say
It took me months it took me years
To read between the lines
I cracked the code I saw your fears
You're full of it you're full of lies

[Ref:]
And I listened to everything you had to say
It's clear you wanted everything to go your own way
But you were wrong now I have thought it through on my own
The things you said, the things you did, the bad seeds you've sown
I'm not a liar

Spread your rumours with a cold straight face cos you need attention
And stab your old mates in the back for no fuckin' reason
You're not my mate now that's for sure but I feel no hate
I'm indifferent to all your shit, I leave you to your fate

[Ref:]
And I listened to everything you had to say
It's clear you wanted everything to go your own way
But you were wrong now I have thought it through on my own




The things you said, the things you did, the bad seeds you've sown
I'm not a liar
